    nothing new, they just use back the concept when early stages of the mobile phone where telcos register your phone serial numbers to their system.

        This sounds like a real break-thought no like crapple marketing gimmick. Well done Samsung for delivering real and necessary improvements for everyday use. I hope all phones will follow the suit soon.

                            eSim is such a bad idea, there is a reason why carriers came with R-UIM on CDMA phones, built in sim cards are a nightmare.

                              This technology would be introduced in all bands and frequencies allocated to the mobile operators.
                              Future is eSim.

                                New wine in the old bottle? CDMA smartphones always have e-SIM and activated remotely eg. Sprint

                                  eSIM will have a FUTURE in the field of electronic communications. Who will understand quickly, it will occupy a leading position among the manufacturers of electronic equipment.
